If you’re a child, teen, or young adult feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure about your emotions, identity, body image, or life changes, you’re not alone. I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can feel understood, explore your experiences, and begin to make sense of what’s going on.

NEW Sep 2026 - Are you always apologizing for things that weren't your fault? You replay conversations on the drive home, draft and delete the same text five times before sending, and lie awake at 1am Googling "fawn response" or "narcissistic parent" to make sense of why every interaction leaves you so confused. You're hyper-aware of everyone else's mood and disconnected from your own. You've been told you're "too sensitive," but you're the person keeping every relationship afloat. You know the patterns. You can quote the books. But they won't budge. And you're tired of carrying the emotional weight of people who never carry yours.

You’ve learned to hold it all together. To be dependable, thoughtful, and strong for everyone else. But underneath that, you might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to slow things down. I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, and difficulty expressing their needs. You might notice yourself replaying conversations, worrying about how you come across, or feeling responsible for others’ emotions while your own needs get pushed aside.
